ACS on virtual server

[mdcole]

Are there are issues or concerns with installing ACS on a virtual server?

The server will authenticate approximately 500 devices and around 4000 users.

Hi ,

ACS is not supported on Virtual Servers. As far as number of users are devices are concerned, that is not a issue.

Hi,

Good news for you!

ACS is supported on VMWare, but you need to be on version 4.1.x or above.
